Ultima Underworld - Takes place in the Abyss
Ultima Underworld 2 - Takes place under Lord British Castle.

But those locations are pretty big so I don't know if this counts to you.
The Labyrinth of Worlds contains several discrete locations, and if we include The Stygian Abyss for being set in a single, albeit large, dungeon, then we might as well include Rogue, Wizardry, Dungeon Master, and a thousand other RPGs taking place in a single dungeon. :M

Its in fact located only in Royal citadel of Mournhold the city being in Lore bigger than Vivec.
Tamriel Rebuilt places the citadel of Mournhold on a plateau, and sprawled around the base of the plateau is the massive city of Almalexia:

A Dance with Rogues: Part 1. Although you leave the city of Betancuria two or three times for certain quests (some of them optional), 90% of plot related events happen there. And despite Neverwinter Nights suboptimal engine the city is really great.
Is this the one where your character gets raped?

Yeah, that's the one. But if you put aside the creator's sexual fantasies, it's actually a pretty good module. The first half makes playing a thief more enjoyable and interesting than any other D&D CRPG I've ever played.


Hillsfar happens almost entirely in a city, but I'm not sure I would call it a CRPG, even if it outwardly uses D&D rules. (Also, it's a terrible, terrible game.)


I guess you could say that Pool of Radiance counts, though much of the city is in ruins and inhabited by monsters.

Will Colony Ship count? The ship was a single settlement.

Difference is, Stygian Abyss is an actual underground settlement, or to be more precise, a couple of them sprawling all around the whole abyss. Ultima Underworld is not a typical dungon crawler.

Every dungeon crawler? I mean it all takes place in a singular dungeon right?

Tamriel Rebuilt had completed the exteriors for the city of Almalexia years ago, though the rest (interiors, NPCs, etc.) was still missing. As of the 2016 version, Tamriel Rebuilt's fully-completed areas were the Telvanni territory in northeast Morrowind and a bit of Indoril (and Temple) territory to the south of that. They seem to have finalized more Indoril territory since then but not yet Almalexia.

Make the Codex Great Again! Grab the Codex by the pussy Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Not a proper RPG but Harbinger.
The arpg that time forgot. It takes place on a single space ship. Also had great atmosphere and a broken quest which didn't let me finish the game...
